    Haystack Rock is a basalt sea stack that reaches a height of 235 feet (71.63m). From April to September, bring binoculars to view the puffins flying in and out of the crevices as they nest for the season. Other sea birds that can be viewed during spring include murres and cormorants. During low tide, you can explore the tide pools full of sea stars, anemones, colorful nudibranchs and sea slugs at the base of the rock. Avoid going beyond the signs disallowing passage, as Haystack is part of the Oregon Islands National Wildlife Refuge.

        I would have a look at the tide tables before planning a visit. There is a tidal pool where you can see fascinating marine life. Please don’t walk on any rocks anywhere here, it’s somebody’s home.
